My father taught me the importance of an eye for an eye—a cardinal rule, ingrained in every club member.

A life for a life.

Seven lives in payment for an unimaginable list of sins.

Two down, five to go.

Time to send some of these brothers off with a bang.

**Five Miles is the third book in the Gypsy Brothers series.**

My father taught me the importance of an eye for an eye—a cardinal rule, ingrained in every club member.

A life for a life.

Seven lives in payment for an unimaginable list of sins.

People might wonder why I’m doing this. If this vengeance is borne from some noble cause, that I’m trying to prevent others from suffering at the hands of Dornan Ross and his sons.

But I’m no vigilante.

I’m doing it for me. I’m doing it because I want to. Because the look on Maxi and Chad’s faces when I killed them was a balm to my soul.

This is the fate they have earned. The penance for their crimes.

Two down, five to go.

Time to send some of these brothers off with a bang.

Five Miles is the third book in the Gypsy Brothers series. The series should be read in the following order:

Seven Sons (Gypsy Brothers, #1)

Six Brothers (Gypsy Brothers, #2)

Five Miles (Gypsy Brothers, #3)

Coming out as an atheist is a powerful, liberating act. But telling people you&#039;re an atheist can be risky. What are the best ways to do it? And how can we help each other take this step? In this compassionate, friendly, down-to-earth guide, based on hundreds of coming-out stories, popular author Greta Christina offers concrete strategies and guiding philosophies for coming out as an atheist.

Coming out as an atheist is a powerful, liberating act. It makes life better for yourself, for other atheists, and for the world. But telling people you&#039;re an atheist can be risky. What are the best ways to do it? And how can we help each other take this step?

In this compassionate, friendly, down-to-earth how-to guide, popular author and blogger Greta Christina ("Why Are You Atheists So Angry? 99 Things That Piss Off the Godless") offers concrete strategies and guiding philosophies for coming out as an atheist. Based on hundreds of coming-out stories, the book offers a map of the territory atheists are likely to encounter -- and ideas on how to pick the path that&#039;s best for you.

For atheists who are already out, it gives practical ideas on how to help others join you in the sunlight. And for atheists who are on the fence, it offers guidance on making that decision -- and gentle encouragement to take that step.

Inspiring and realistic, kind and powerful, "Coming Out Atheist" is the much-needed guidebook atheists have been waiting for.

Author Greta Christina is donating 10% of her income from this book to atheist organizations, charities, and projects.

"Witty, wise, helpful, and humane, this clear and engaging book is most timely. Coming Out Atheist is a great resource for the many Americans out there who have rejected religious faith and are moving towards embracing, acknowledging, and proclaiming their atheism."

-Phil Zuckerman, Ph.D., author of "Faith No More: Why People Reject Religion" and "Society Without God: What the Least Religious Nations Can Tell Us About Contentment"

"Old and new atheists alike will find this book invaluable as a road map through the often murky waters of coming out as a nonbeliever. As an out atheist, I was struck by how much I learned about the coming out process and its intricacies. There is no doubt that it has made me a better advocate and voice in the movement. BUY THIS BOOK IT&#039;S AMAZEBANANAS!"

-Lauren Lane, Skepticon Co-Founder

"Greta Christina&#039;s guide to &#039;Coming Out Atheist&#039; is chock-full of useful ideas; but above all it is wise and compassionate."

-Alan Sokal, Professor of Physics, New York University

"This is an important book at the right time by a clear thinker, elegant writer, and passionate human being. Greta Christina is one of a small handful of atheist authors I can count on to bring that happy combination home, time after time."

-Dale McGowan, author of "Atheism For Dummies"

"Greta Christina knows that the philosophy of atheism is incomplete without practical and sensible advice about how to live in a world full of believers. Her fascinating life experience and astute observations of atheists, in or out of the closet, offers readers some of the most potent testimony for why coming out as an atheist will make a godless life better."

-Hector Avalos, professor of Religious Studies at Iowa State University, author of "The End of Biblical Studies"

"Greta Christina has written the ultimate handbook for coming out. I read this book with an eye for detail, since there are so many nuances in the process of coming out. Greta addresses each one of them with thoughtfulness and compassion. I actually think this book has something for every atheist, not just those coming out. Her insight, understanding, and knowledge mark a new path I have not seen in this kind of book before. As the Chairman of the Board of Recovering from Religion, this book is now on our list of &#039;highly recommended&#039; for all our members and facilitators."

Greta Christina is one of the most widely-read and well-respected bloggers in the atheist blogosphere. She blogs at the cleverly named Greta Christina&#039;s Blog (http://freethoughtblogs.com/greta), and is a regular contributor to the online political magazine, AlterNet. She was ranked by an independent analyst as one of the Top Ten most popular atheist bloggers, and her writing has appeared in numerous magazines, newspapers, and anthologies, including Ms., Penthouse, Skeptical Inquirer, the Chicago Sun-Times, and the anthology Everything You Know About God Is Wrong. She is editor of the Best Erotic Comics anthology series and of Paying For It: A Guide by Sex Workers for Their Clients, and is author of Bending, an erotic novella in the three- novella collection Three Kinds of Asking For It. She has been writing professionally since 1989, on topics including atheism, skepticism, sexuality and sex-positivity, LGBT issues, politics, culture, and whatever crosses her mind. She is on the speakers&#039; bureaus of the Secular Student Alliance and the Center for Inquiry. She tweets at @GretaChristina. She lives in San Francisco with her wife, Ingrid.

You&#039;ve heard a whiff of a rumor that there&#039;s other ways to go through life as in 100% TAX FREE and LEGALLY. I was just on Fox News yesterday, tax day, presenting this subject http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vlZai6mIZ7U.

We spell it out for you here in layman&#039;s terms. If you are old enough to hold a job and pay income tax, you are smart enough to understand the THIRD way, the way that many intelligent entrepreneurs take- one where you protect your earnings LEGALLY. It costs you less than $300 to file the paperwork to become tax free. We have been living this lifestyle over 7 years, LEGALLY. We are simply sharing this as part of our mission to keep America Land of the FREE and home of the BRAVE.

There are zealots out there who will claim and show historical written proof that TAXATION IS UNLAWFUL. But why fight the power when they have given us a LEGAL other route of being a tax exempt organization~ whatever you resist persists so if you can&#039;t beat them, join them.

All those poor souls doing the time sensitive Occupy movement reveal that this country needs more freedom. The problem is protesters keep finding someone to blame. If they would just look another way, at information like this, they would have something much more constructive to focus upon – something that will achieve REAL results, not just some lame Occupy achieved token like “no more ATM fees.” What these people really want is a tax exempt life but they just don&#039;t know it.

And the government DOES. It also knows that ANYONE who truly tries CAN BECOME a tax exempt 501(c)3 religious corporation, which is why government isn&#039;t so moved by Occupy movements. If I were the IRS, maybe I too would be like, "Why are they all in Zuccotti Park camping when they could be at their nearest library or public counsel offices filling out paperwork to become legally tax exempt???"

God helps those who help themselves. As does government.

When you connect the two, you can live legally tax exempt by serving God through Government rules. The first amendment separating church and state actually grants us freedom by unifying the two, compliantly.

For those naysayers who hemm and haw about us "not paying taxes" please note WE ALL PAY TAXES EACH TIME WE BUY SOMETHING OR EAT OUT. Those taxes go to the government because the companies we pay those taxes to pay the government. Also I hate to say that we pay more in property taxes living in Venice Beach, CA than most African nations&#039; GNP. So when you consider that, realize we are NOT saying don&#039;t pay ANY taxes. We are simply showing the LEGAL way to use what would have been your income taxes to help people - which means you are thereby helping your government!

Legal disclaimer: This book is 100% tax deductible, thereby making it a FREE gift from us to you! Simply reference our Federal EIN 61-1555550 to claim your exemption equal to the amount you "paid." When you make a "payment" it is actually a donation since we are a charity. Your donation is voluntary and without condition.

THANK YOU for your support and God bless America! Let us keep it land of the FREE and home of the BRAVE! Saving the best for last:

Whoever coined the phrase that death and taxes are the only things we are sure of was demonic. Did you know that God&#039;s original plan is that humans never die, but live forever in an earthly paradise: http://www.watchtower.org/e/200605/article_03.htm Well that is a definition of heaven. Death is not inevitable. We have "proof" on http://www.EternalYouthandImmortality.com

Bianca McDonald strongly desires to be closer to Jesus, but mounting disappointments and fears are overwhelming her. She strives to keep her hope alive as she deals with her heart wrenching attraction to USSS SA Eric Lawrence, and battles with her inwardly struggling life. Eric has drastically kept his distance from Bianca, but he soon arrives at a crossroad: obey his boss’s orders or Jesus&#039; will?

Bianca McDonald strongly desires to be closer to Jesus, but with every step she feels like she is stepping farther away from Him. Her disappointments continue to add up, including the powerful weakness she has for Special Agent Eric Lawrence who has never returned her calls. And with each day her life isn’t turning into what she thought it would, nor what she thinks it should for someone who puts Jesus first in everything. Instead, she is becoming increasingly aware of small, seemingly insignificant, “natural” fears that are not being washed away as she prays, but are mounting up in her life and overwhelming her. How can she possibly keep her hope in God from slipping through her fingers as she battles with her inwardly struggling life?

United States Secret Service Special Agent Eric Lawrence, of the Counter Assault Team, can’t seem to erase his unmistakable, captivating attraction to Bianca. And that is a major problem! Her brother, ASAIC Roger McDonald, has ordered all CAT guys to stay away from her. He has drastically kept his distance from her, but Eric soon finds himself at a burdensome crossroad: obey his boss’s orders, or Jesus’ will? Only one way will secure the peace in his life.

About Andie Renee

I am a former United States Secret Service Special Agent that has fallen deeply in love with Jesus. I write Christian Romance Novels that I hope will provide you with a few hours of enjoyment as well as inspire and encourage you in your own personal, intimate relationship with Jesus. In regards to my first set of books that I am releasing, my Protection Series, each Novel stands alone, and they are based on the United States Secret Service. And they may be really different from what you normally read, but I am hoping that you enjoy the uniqueness and interesting situations that they all find themselves in and how Jesus heals their ways and works in each of their lives. May you always put Him first in all that you do, and deeply know the victory that only He can provide as the Holy Spirit guides you and instructs you in your journey on earth while your heart is held protectively, and securely in the hands of your Abba (Heavenly Father).

May you find that Jesus is truly enough for you. Others may not understand, they may be looking for the "right words" to heal, speak or say, or the "right actions" that will inevitably set people free from bullies, dangerous situations, problems, or the harsh realities of life in this world that they can physically do themselves. But Praise Jesus because of your deepening relationship with Him the Holy Spirit has led you to a place in Him that you find out that He is truly all you need. That He alone can set you and others free, and that His name stands for victory, healing, power, strength, security. Jesus is our only Savior. The only one that can be your true soul mate and lead you into all truth is Jesus, and all by His loving Holy Spirit. You are bridged back to God and may you be stunned that you actually now have the true answer to all of the problems because in you, you hold the "right words" to heal, speak or say, and the "right actions" that will set people free from all negativity because you are holding onto Jesus! May you help others by bringing their focus back to where it needs to be~on Jesus!

Jake Matheson loves everything about ranching the Double-Bar-K, except for his father’s controlling nature. It’s bad enough the old man won’t step down and let him run things his own way. Now Holt has demanded that Jake find a wife—in the next thirty days. Jake knows just the woman he wants–Hannah Ashton–but they haven’t even gone on a date, let alone been together long enough for him to propose.

Jake Matheson loves everything about ranching the Double-Bar-K, except for his father’s controlling nature. It’s bad enough the old man won’t step down and let him run things his own way. Now Holt has demanded that Jake find a wife—in the next thirty days. Jake knows just the woman he wants–Hannah Ashton–but they haven’t even gone on a date, let alone been together long enough for him to propose. He’ll have to work fast to secure her hand in marriage before his time is up.

Hannah Ashton loves the fifteen hundred pound bison she rescued from being the object of a trophy hunt. She’s grateful for Gladys’s temporary home on the Double-Bar-K—and for the chance it gives her to see Jake on a daily basis. But now his father, Holt, is threatening to kick Gladys off the ranch—or eat her!—unless Hannah follows some very strange instructions.

Jake is thrilled when Hannah agrees to move into his cabin, but his family seems dead set on breaking them apart. Meanwhile, Hannah is all set to head off to veterinary school, but Jake seems to want a traditional wife.

Will a pregnancy scare unite Jake and Hannah in a common goal? Or will it drive them apart for good?

NewLaw New Rules breaks new ground. The book shows how trends in industry structure and clients&#039; buying behaviour are changing the legal landscape – and in doing so create opportunities for a new category of legal services provider and also challenge law firms based on the traditional business model.

It began with &#039;The rise and rise of the NewLaw business model&#039; posted on 7 October 2013 on Bigger. Better. Both? The Beaton Capital Blog. In that post, George Beaton canvassed recent developments in the legal services industry, specifically the rise of providers that do not fit the traditional law firm mould.

The ensuing discussion about current and anticipated developments in the legal services sector attracted responses from law firm leaders, practitioners, consultants and academics. In the blogosphere and on Twitter contributors from Australia, Canada, Hong Kong, Spain, the United Kingdom and the United States engaged in vigorous and insightful exchanges. The intensity and pace of the discussion over the course of two months attested to the timeliness of the questions that were being raised. And there was certainly a common theme: Major changes are afoot in how clients are buying legal services and how providers are innovating and responding – and in some cases appear not to be responding.

NewLaw New Rules makes the conversation available in a structured and edited form. It is a snapshot of the state and development of the legal services industry.

This book addresses three major concerns about higher technical education in India and offers solutions and implementation strategies to deal with them effectively, based on author&#039;s over four decades of experience in teaching and academic management

This book addresses three major concerns about higher technical education in India and offers solutions and implementation strategies. Firstly, how to impart education and learning to the 21st century internet savvy generation that is different in several ways? A new paradigm and pedagogy is needed to deal with them effectively. Secondly, with 180 million people between the ages of 18 and 25, how do we effectively provide for the immense demand of engineering and/or technology education in India? Finally, how to recruit and retain quality faculty, against stiff competition from other institutes including IITs?

The recommendations provided in this book come from a holistic perspective of the author, balancing pragmatism and vision, that he has gained over four decades of experience.

By interrogating the status quo of the technical education scenario of India, especially in light of the dynamism of the 21st century, the book is meant to serve as a point of reflection for all the stakeholders in this ecosystem.

In the Federal Circuit Court a Whistle-Blower’s small claim has sprung the lid on the unsavoury corporate culture of one of Australia’s most powerful and secretive government Agencies, the Australian Federal Police. It is a lesson to all those in positions of power that no person or agency is above the law.

When highly trained Federal Agent Brendan Thomson turns whistle-blower a David and Goliath battle erupts in the Federal Circuit Court. Unrepresented and dismissed by the Union, Sergeant Thomson alone, takes on the might and power of the Commissioner of Police and summons the Australian Federal Police legal machine to Court. The conduct and the integrity of Australia’s self-proclaimed premier law enforcement agency, the AFP , is dragged kicking and screaming into public view. Under the bright lights, what floats to the surface is the rancid corporate culture of deception and workplace intimidation which has refused the payment of upwards of 4.5 million dollars of staff wages.

On the back of Sgt Thomson’s experience he calls for reform through wide spread legal action against the AFP and gives his reader the precise details and instructions to assess their own claim and launch legal proceedings. It is well used template, familiar to those that operate in the police and military. Clear concise and now proven in court. Knowledge is power and every worker should head such advice, if they want to protect themselves from workplace abuse and maladministration.

I am an admin on a sperm donor group on Facebook. I am also a donor with dozens of kids. I find women looking to use a donor often ask the same questions. So do men who want to be a donor. I often have to write the answers many times. No doubt some people asking the questions can&#039;t always find the answers later. So I have tried to collect together in one location all the answers to the questions people ask most frequently about donation, so that I can easily refer people to the books and they can go back to those books later if they forget. Good luck to all in their journey.

Zoe Victoria isn&#039;t sure how she feels about her classmate Sean, and that&#039;s even setting aside the fact that he&#039;s the grim reaper. That&#039;s kind of a perk, actually - after all, Zoe has her own bone to pick with mortality, and as Sean&#039;s new assistant, she&#039;s in the perfect spot to try and cheat death. That is if a life of hunting down supernatural psychopaths doesn&#039;t kill her first...

Who&#039;d have thought cheating death would be so complicated?

Zoe Victoria isn&#039;t sure how she feels about her classmate Sean. There&#039;s his so-called personality; half gallant gentleman, half angry little twerp. There&#039;s the issue of him being six inches shorter than she is, making for frequent nose-to-collarbone conversations. And there&#039;s the fact that he&#039;s the grim reaper.

Well. A grim reaper, at least; apparently one of many at the Agency, sworn to police the ethereal world AND carry on with all that reaping business. And honestly, even that wouldn&#039;t be a deal breaker; after all, Zoe has her own bone to pick with mortality, and cheating death seems a lot more reasonable when death is short enough to stuff in a locker. But as Sean&#039;s new assistant, Zoe is quickly learning that conviction alone can&#039;t change fate – and that saving lives might just put her own life at risk. Between hunting down supernatural psychopaths and rescuing people from certain death, it’s looking like Zoe might be getting a crash course in life expectancy.
